ancientnews | Gobekli Tepe offers compelling evidence for an advanced civilisation that fell
foul to a forgotten catastrophic event. They also see obvious links
between the dating of Göbekli Tepe and the Younger Dryas climate events.
Briefly, the Younger Dryas period is marked by sudden intense cooling
12,800 years ago followed by equally sudden and intense warming 11,500
years ago. Archaeological evidence suggests that at both ends of the
Younger Dryas global cataclysms occurred that led to mass extinctions.
Certainly, the megalithic builders responsible for Göbekli Tepe lived
through the collapse of their civilisation and decided to bury their
work. It is evident their culture went into rapid retreat, and today it
only remains in the region of origination – Australasia. The stones
of Göbekli Tepe speak, but only if one knows their language. These
mighty megaliths bear the signature of the Australian Aboriginal
traditions from which they emerged. The fingerprints of this culture
remain across much of northern Australia, but lest anyone raise the
accusation of regional cherry-picking, the focus here will be almost
entirely in one area, Arnhem Land.
Arnhem land is no arbitrary selection for investigation. Situated on
the closest point to the Indonesian islands, Arnhem Land was once part
of lands that extended much further out into the Timor Sea and the
Arafura Sea. Migrants moving towards Southeast Asia would have passed
through what is now Arnhem Land.
It is not only at Göbekli Tepe that we find this Aboriginal Australian
symbolism. Contained in the greater body of research work is a far
broader picture. After the cataclysms, new sprouts of civilisation
emerged from cultural seeds planted by a lost Aboriginal Australian
global culture. Aboriginal Australasians have carried the hidden history
of this first culture through comet impacts, solar storms and
deliberate genocide. Today we owe them an enormous debt. The sacred art
of Aboriginal Australians provides a final few cultural connections
between the builders of Göbekli Tepe and Aboriginal Australia. In these
photographs, we see an exact match between a symbol on an Aboriginal
elder’s chest and one on a pillar at Göbekli Tepe (see page 65). The
meaning of this is often suggested to be of two people sitting to share
knowledge. On a central pillar in enclosure D, we find a set of symbols
normally reserved for the most sacred artefacts of the Australian
Aboriginals, churinga stones. A modern example of a churinga
stone is shown on page 65. The only difference from the symbol on the
pillar is that the two lines do not merge with the central circle.
Churinga stones are regarded as receptacles for spiritual energy
associated with creator beings, sky heroes that came down to Earth.
Incredibly, the full pillar on which this churinga symbol appears is
itself described as a stylised representation of a humanoid deity. We
see the mysterious being’s arms folded just above the belt (see image on
page 65).10
